    @1a2a3a For the latest Wayland on off I use the new adjusted scripts. mon.sh #!/bin/bash export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --on --mode 1920x1080@60Hz --transform 270 mof.sh #!/bin/bash export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-0 export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 /usr/bin/wlr-randr --output HDMI-A-1 --off This works pretty well for me. The screen eventually times out as there is no input and it turns off. In addition to these I have these cron entries to call the scripts. Turns the screen on at 6am and off at 9pm. 00 06 * * * /home/pi/mon.sh >> /home/pi/mon.log 2>&1 00 21 * * * /home/pi/mof.sh >> /home/pi/mof.log 2>&1

    @Sean said in How do I get the Google AIY Voice HAT installed so that MMM can use it?: @fribse There could be one problem. Your mic and speaker now have same id card 0, device 0 When my module try to close the mic(plughw:0,0) to output sound, the speaker(plughw:0,0) will be closed together at same time, so error will occur. I heard there is a way to assign different id or alias to devices, but don’t know how to do. Ok, so it doesn’t use the subdevices to distinguish them, I guess it’s google here I come :-)

    Hi…unless the PSUs are designed to tolerate it, a voltage mismatch (even within the +/- 0.25V tolerance) could destroy one or both PSUs. Just get a decent PSU with adequate output, like the “official” 2.5A, or bigger if required for power-hungry peripherals . printed circuit board

    Hi, I have a Pi 3 in a plastic housing and with a fan, running at 46,5 degrees celsius And I have one in an all aluminum housing without a fan, running at 38,5 degrees celsius. It can be the location that makes a difference, but I would say the housing makes the biggest difference. Very pleased with the all aluminum.

    The title says it. I have 2 Raspberry Pi 3’s and 2 32" flat screen TVs. I need to find someone who will get the frames and 2 way Plexi or glass. I haven’t done my due diligence on which is a better material for a smart mirror. But I will provide you with the Raspberry Pi and tv if you provide me a frame and 2 way. I figure it’s less hassle than selling the extra items and then sourcing what I need. I will provide pictures and tracking I will also expect that in return. Hopefully we can help each other out and each have everything to build this nifty gadget. https://redtube.onl/ https://beeg.onl/ https://spanktube.vip/spankbang/

    Hi to all, I’m building MagicMirror and I’m using Samsung Syncmaster 2494 monitor. When I disassembled it I discovered this “bn96-10836c” Assy Board P Touch which is used to turn on monitor. Without it I can’t turn on monitor. It’s connected with 5 wires to the main board. So do you have any ideas how can use these wires or which I have to connect with a trigger to turn on monitor? I would like to make always on when there is a power cable connected. How did you solve this problem?

    @AlejandroV - Just about any screen with an HDMI input can be used. TVs and computer monitors are the screens of choice. You can use a laptop screen, but I believe you have to purchase a controller board to manage the HDMI to screen interface. If you really want to try something different, you could use a projector. :)

    I fixed the problem by my self with a new board from Pollin and it works perfect! https://www.pollin.de/p/lvds-interface-pi-mt6820-vga-zu-lvds-810220 It is small and powerful and theoretically it works with all Resolutions the Inverter you can still buy at Aliexpress for your screens! If you need some hints let me know. Best

    I use black construction paper for the areas of my mirrors that are not covered by a monitor. It’s easy to cut into the appropriate shape and I can punch holes through it for things like camera lenses. A piece of construction paper the size of your acrylic/glass can have a cutout the size of your monitor pretty easily. I don’t bother with tape or other adhesive to stick it to the glass. I start with a piece the size of the glass and it doesn’t go anywhere.

    hey, maybe it’s possible by replacing the common mirror of infinity mirror by two-way mirror and put your monitor behind ? i don’t know but maybe the infinite effect would be less strong . (sorry if my English is not very good i’m french)

    Hi there @broberg and @Sean , I’m Pedro, the Marketing Manager at DISPLAX. We’ve received some contact forms that were referred from the Magic Mirror Forum. First of all, thanks for referring us! Second, DISPLAX provides customised touch foils for any size that you choose (even strange ones), so adapting our touch sensors to any of your mirrors will be a piece of cake. We have appropriate mirror glass that is non-conductive, which is requirement for the PCAP technology. If you feel that you required more information, feel free to contact touch@displax.com Thanks!

    Wondering if people release sweeping UI changes all at once or do you feature gate them and slowly deploy components and THEN release? Seems like a dev solution to a design “problem”. Without a super class not sure how you’d feature gate. Also not sure if this even matters but I know that devs are always nervous about stale branches. Why would I worry about stale style branches?
